Hiya
Never been caught speeding before so feeling a little unsure what to do next. Been driving 15 years
Stopped by unmarked police car for doing 67 in a 40 and issued with a traffic offence report.
My head was spinning a little but I'm sure the officer told me I would hear within 14 days some more info.
TOR says my offence was speeding In a 40 but doesn't mention the speed I was doing.
It's been 5 weeks no and not heard anything.
Would this be normal and should I do anything
Thank you for any thoughts
If the police warned you of a prosecution at the roadside, you've received a verbal notice of intended prosecution so the 14 day rule for postal NIPs is irrelevant. The police have six months from the date of the offence to charge you, so you may well have to wait a few more months to get a summons.
...and it will be a court visit as the excess is too much for fixed penalty.
It's band C - so 6 points or upto 56 day ban.
Fine around 150% of weekly relevant earnings (discounted by 33% for a guilty plea), costs of £85 and surcharge of 10% of the fine (min £30).
